Mosque – Bank More is a recognised local mosque and place of Islamic worship situated on Bank More Road in Dhanbad city, part of the Dhanbad Municipal Corporation in the Indian state of Jharkhand – 826001. Bank More is an urban locality in central Dhanbad district, well-served by civic infrastructure and residential communities. As a mosque, it forms a core part of the religious life of local Muslim residents.  The mosque functions as a space for the five compulsory daily prayers — Fajr (pre-dawn), Dhuhr (midday), Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (sunset), and Isha (night) — which structure the daily worship routine for believers. The Friday (Jumuʿah) congregational prayer is a highlight of the week, drawing the local Muslim community together for a collective prayer and a Khutbah (sermon) that reinforces spiritual guidance, religious teachings, and community solidarity. During the holy month of Ramadan, the mosque typically becomes a focal point of communal activity. Taraweeh — special nightly prayers performed after Isha — are conducted, and Muslim families and neighbours gather for communal Iftar — the meal breaking the fast at sunset — fostering cooperation and fellowship. On the two major annual Islamic festivals — Eid al-Fitr (celebrating the end of Ramadan) and Eid al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice) — the mosque hosts large congregational prayers that bring together worshippers from Bank More and surrounding neighbourhoods, creating a shared sense of celebration and devotion.  While detailed historical documentation such as the mosque’s exact year of construction, founders, or architectural records is not published in formal heritage archives or online repositories, the mosque’s continued use and positive community rating affirm its importance in the spiritual and social life of the Bank More area in Dhanbad. Like many community mosques in India, its function and legacy are sustained through ongoing worship, neighbourhood participation, and shared tradition.
